Shana Howard, MSW, LSW

Therapist 


Specialization: mood disorders, addictions, behavioral issues, adults, famines, and adolescence. 


Professional Background: 

I’m Shana and I’ve worked in mental and behavioral health for 17 years. I have a bachelors in cultural anthropology and my masters in social work. I feel strongly about mental and emotional well-being and understand their contribution to a person’s quality of life. I have a history of working with families, adolescence, people of color, and those struggling with mood, serious mental illness, and substance use. I firmly believe that building rapport through connection, collaboration, feeling of safety, and exploring an individual’s life as a whole is the foundation for positive growth.


Therapeutic Approach: 

Shana places an emphasis on cognition, building helpful associations, and creating feelings of safety as a foundation for exploration and growth.
